Show Notes
A highly anticipated NHL offseason kicked off with a bang yesterday, as the Edmonton Oilers officially announced the hiring of Mike Babcock, multiple stars got traded and the NHL announced they were exploring putting another team in Texas. We react to one of the most insane offseason days the league has ever seen, including Babcock's disaster of a press conference and the Chicago Blackhawks getting fleeced in the Bo Byram trade with the Buffalo Sabres.

Some of the NHL's biggest starts like Connor McDavid and Kirill Kaprizov are having insane starts to their seasons, even by their standards.
